"His leadership and vision have significantly impacted the long-term success of National Instruments and our customers".
"Keith is an example of excellence for all NI employees." Odom has spent his entire 18-year career in R+D at National Instruments.
As director of architecture and technology, he leads a team of highly respected digital engineers that develop important new architectures and key application-specific integrated circuits (Asics) and who serve as technical leads on a wide range of projects.
Odom was instrumental in the development of the NI-STC 2, a device system timing controller for NI M Series data acquisition devices, as well as the NI Synchronisation and Memory Core (SMC) architecture for the company's high-speed modular instruments.
He has served in many different management roles within the company, including managing top analogue engineering talent and the company's entire modular instruments team.
He is the inventor or co-inventor of 34 patents in a range of areas including bus interfacing, hardware/software interaction, reconfigurable I/O and timing and synchronisation.
With Odom's leadership, NI has had success in ASIC design, most of which released in its first version because of his high quality of work.
In addition, he has led many of the innovations and architectural successes the company has achieved in FPGA design.
Odom is not only personally innovative in his own work, he also has been a key leader in helping the company institutionalise innovation by defining a process for funding research projects and encouraging directed research on identified technology gaps.
